Chapter 1286: The New Crown

When Sir Andrés said this, his face was full of sorrow.

The Doge's Mansion was in shambles, and it should not be long before the angry soldiers and rebels were about to be slaughtered, and the envoys and nobles of the various countries had already fled.

As for himself, there is nowhere to go.

Sir Andrés said to his entourage: "A chaotic or new era will begin, and what awaits us is either a long night, or perhaps, the rising of the morning, but all this means nothing to me, this is my end, please take my last advice, go and tell His Highness that at this moment, we must vigorously unite the French, and we must no longer engage with the French, and only by forming them well can we ensure that in the future, the rebellion in the Northern Province will be quelled, if the Northern Province is allowed to be occupied by the rebels, Well, sooner or later, here will be the birthplace of the plague. ”

The attendant was confused and did not understand the meaning of Sir Andrés's words, but at this moment it was clear that he was no longer willing to stay, for there were already angry voices outside, and the few guards seemed to have clashed with the rebels outside.

The attendants didn't even look at Sir Andres, but hurried away with their swords in a panic, and suddenly disappeared.

Sir Andrés looked in the direction of the man and smiled bitterly, knowing that his man would never speak for him.

Before coming to the Northern Province, he was just a nobleman who, like everyone else, was obsessed with participating in the palace salon and queuing, and occasionally fought for women, but the trip to the Northern Province was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, which made him truly realize that there was such a game in the world.

And now...... He was enlightened.

It's a pity that the game is over and the winner is divided.

The reason why he believed that Spain had to conclude an alliance with France at this time was naturally to ensure that the Northern Province remained in the hands of the Habsburgs and that the rebellion must be eliminated.

Unfortunately, the Nord Department was close to France, as well as the northern states of Germany in the Holy Roman Empire.

France has been competing with the Habsburgs for hegemony in Europe, and just a dozen years ago, the Spanish army also defeated the French army, so that the French had to choose to make peace with the Ottoman Empire.

The French were apparently pleased with the loss of Habsburg control of the Northern Province, for they were optimistic about anything that would weaken the Habsburgs.

As for the German states, although nominally subordinate to the King of Spain, who was crowned Holy Roman Emperor, in fact the Emperor had limited control over them, and these princes had always been disobedient to the Emperor, and even fearful of the expansion of the Emperor's power, and the neighboring Northern Province, the domain of the Habsburgs, had always made them restless.

And once the rebels get their connivance, then the consequences ...... It could be even worse.

At this moment, a large number of rioters had already rushed into the city hall in anger.

They were armed with all sorts of weapons.

Sir Andrés stood straight until a rebel stepped forward and knocked him to the ground with a punch: "He's a Spaniard!" ”

He grinned in pain, but he didn't even have room to resist, and the rebels punched him again.

And the rebels were also boiling because of the phrase "Spaniard", and they rushed to him one after another.

………………

The fleet slowly sailed along the waves.

At this time, on the ship with the Portuguese flag at the head, Liu Jin and Wang Xizuo both raised their eyebrows and were overjoyed.

Liu Wenshan looked down at the book, in fact, only God knows how much success this time was, because no one had time to count at all, all the gold coins and silver dollars were hastily loaded onto the ship, and then a boatload was pulled out of the open sea, and in the open sea, there was a fleet of Da Ming to respond.

But Liu Wenshan's face did not see joy.

Before coming, he worked hard to learn the language of Francois with Wang Xizuo.

After that, the rest of the time, he would read some books about the Franc machine, and the whole Franc machine obviously had a different tradition, it was a whole new civilization, and there were too many complicated things on this continent.

China has long regarded itself as the supreme kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and regards the states as barbarians, but in the new learning, it is not so arrogant.

It is more pragmatic, and externally, it is more in line with the set of knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent.

What Liu Wenshan is looking at now is a book of French knights, and he has been reading it all night, and then he looks up and looks at Liu Jin and Wang Xizuo who are happy.

Liu Wenshan closed his eyes for a moment, and immediately opened them again, his eyes fell on Wang Xizuo, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"Wang Xizuo."

"Yes."

Liu Wenshan looked at him very seriously, and asked word by word: "Have you thought about your future?" ”

"Future?" Wang Xi hesitated, he looked at Liu Wenshan puzzled.

Liu Wenshan smiled and said, "It means, how will you live this life." ”

"When I return to Daming, at that time, I will have a lot of land, I will have many wives and concubines, I want to come to Mengqi Guogong's love, I will get a good official position, I will have more children......"

Speaking of these, Wang Xizuo's eyes lit up, and his face was yearning.

Liu Wenshan shook his head: "No, you can get more." ”

Wang Xizuo looked at Liu Wenshan in surprise.

Liu Wenshan took a sip of white water and stared at Wang Xizuo with a smile.

"What do you think will happen in the Northern Province?"

"There will be a huge rebellion, and even this rebellion, there will be a risk of contagion."

"And then?" Liu Wenshan is good at seduction.

Wang thought about it carefully before blurting out an analysis.

"I think that the next thing they will do is to elect a new king, independent from Spanish rule, and the Northern Province has not been very friendly to their Spanish king until then, and this time, it is a fuse. Or, like Venice or Gena, they will become a republic. ”

Liu Wenshan nodded and continued to ask, "What next?" ”

Then......

Wang Xizuo was stunned for a moment, he couldn't continue to think about it, and his eyes were full of confusion when he looked at Liu Wenshan.

The corners of Liu Wenshan's mouth lightly outlined an arc, and said lightly: "Then, let me tell you, then, this new country will collapse quickly, no matter who they elect, maybe the people of the Northern Province will cheer him now, but you have to understand that the reason why people choose the new king is that they think that the new king can improve their situation, but in fact, no, because everyone's wealth has almost disappeared." ”

"Countless people will be in debt, and the vast majority of people, in order to compensate for the debt, will sell their property at a low price, but in fact, no one wants to buy their property, because there are not many gold and silver coins in the market, which will lead to a high price of gold and silver, and the entire business has been uprooted, and the soldiers there will continue to be in arrears, and the merchants there will desperately sell goods, but no one cares, and those nobles, their estates, are now worthless...... It won't be long before this new king will be knocked to the ground by those who once supported them, and immediately after, chaos will continue to begin, right? ”

Wang Xizuo thought for a moment and nodded.

There's nothing wrong with that.

The entire Northern Province has been completely drained, and what was once a rich land has now become a source of chaos.

This is not at all a solution that can be solved by the new king.

Liu Wenshan saw that Wang Xizuo had understood what he said, so he continued to mention something.

"So at this time, you should go back to the Northern Province."

"Ah......" Wang Xizuo looked at Liu Wenshan in surprise, as if he didn't understand what he meant at all.

The source of chaos, what is he going to do?

Liu Wenshan smiled at him.

"The current Northern Province, or even the entire Franco, whoever owns gold and silver is the master of the Northern Province."

Wang Xizuo was taken aback: "This ...... This...... Mr. Liu, if I go, what will happen if I am recognized? ”

"It's about being recognized." Liu Wenshan said with a smile: "For the rebels in the Northern Province, what they need most now is to solve the current crisis, but who can solve this crisis?" Whoever has the silver and can stabilize the market is in the interests of the vast majority of people, so they don't bother to care, what is the identity of the person who saves them. ”

"Besides, after the rebellion, isn't the whole Northern Province worried that the Spaniards will put down the rebellion? And at this time, if you claim that you are ordered to go, but the Ming Qi Kingdom Duke pity the small people of the northern province, I Ming not long ago, had defeated the Spanish army, this news, in Franco, someone has already known, if your appearance at this time, is enough to make the rebels think that they have a backer, although the Ming and Francois are far away, but these rebels, for the time being, are mostly rabble, how can they not be afraid of Spain, your appearance, but just cater to their needs for security. ”

Liu Wenshan looked at the surprised Wang Xizuo, couldn't help pausing for a while, and then analyzed seriously and carefully.

"As long as these two problems are solved, will anyone have the strength to care about your identity? At the moment, the only thing you have to do is to get there, after controlling the rebels, immediately befriend the French, now the French are also anxious, but I am afraid that I can't take care of you, and as for the Spaniards, it is difficult to protect themselves for the time being, I don't have a few years of effort, I'm afraid it won't be able to slow down, at that time, if you can gain a foothold in the Northern Province, the Qi State will send a fleet to cooperate with you. ”

Wang Xizuo's face was blue and pale, and he knew very well that although Liu Wenshan analyzed him clearly, he ...... Wang Xizuo understands that there are too many difficulties here, and if one is not good, he will die without a place to be buried.
